The place was silent, almost as if time itself stopped. It then starts downpouring. Everything is silent for a few moments.
Ultraguck started glowing, resonating in tune with the song emanating from the Choir. "This feeling! It can only be-" Maria started.
"Death death death death!" Kirika cheered excitedly.
"That's right! X Drive!" Serena said eagerly.
"Really?!" Overtaker shouted furiously, slamming his sword against the ground. "You think this will be enough to stop me?! Even without the power from the Vatican, I fused with an outer god, one of the greatest wizards alive, one of the strongest fallen angels ever, and the body of one of the most powerful beings in the omniverse, one who has practically reached apotheosis from thousands of years of worship and sacrifice despite being dead, wearing one of the most powerful Faust Robes ever created!"
"Hold on, if we should defeat Chapelle… What do you think happens next?" Doom realized something.
The Valkyries exchanged puzzled looks. "We celebrate?" Hibikii said in confusion. "Since we saved the world again?"
"I'm up for a party," Chris commented.
"Lesbian orgy at my place!" Kanade yelled, grabbing Laura, Tsubasa and Maria.
"Kanade, we literally live in Sinner's Lane," Roman pointed out.
"I know what I said."
"Death."
"Stare," Shirabe said as she and Kirika locked hands and exchanged incredibly sappy looks.
"Imbeciles! Have you forgotten? Chapelle is in one of many bodies of Jesus Christ. To defeat him, we'll have to destroy a body the Son of God inhabited! Can you imagine the backlash this will cause?!"
Everyone stiffened as they considered this. "Wait… That's…" Miku whispered.
"I… suppose a lot of people would be rather angry…" An uneasy Maria admitted.
"Pretty sure that's an understatement," Chris growled.
"Angry?! They'll skewer us," Doom ranted. "Many Christians will be shocked by us killing their Lord, and critics will demand to know why we didn't do anything to save him! There is already quite a lot of political strife stirring in the United Nations because the OVDF has a monopoly on some of the most powerful individuals in the world, ones capable of destroying entire universes, and if that should happen, there isn't really anything they can do to stop us! This just adds fuel to the fire!"
"But… But we would never-" Hibikii stammered.
"And you think that matters to them?!" Doom added. "Politicians know that their control over us is more illusory than they care to admit, and something like this will only add fuel to the fire! There will be demands for restrictions on our activities! Imagine the bureaucracy! The inability to use our most powerful abilities or even transform without strict authorization! No say in who we fight and when! And of course, if we dare protest, we'll just be painted as uncontrollable loose cannons! Do you truly think Fudo Kazanari's the only one of his kind in the world?"
Tsubasa trembled, Maria and Kanade grabbing her by the shoulders. "No… I know he is not…"
"We'll be reviled and shunned! Our names will be spoken of in the same breath as Judas Iscariot or even Wattles! People will stop going to Kazanari's concerts, which admittedly might be a good thing, given the absurd mortality rate among her attendees!" Doom yelled.
[Go for it!]
[Break the Jesus husk!]
[Let's get an appropriate power scaling for the squad!]
[I may be a Christian, but then again...I would like to see what happens when the body is destroyed. Besides that, they might scale as equals to the Lord!]
"Wait, really?" Doom asked. "Is the chat truly supportive of us breaking religion?!"
"Even so." Hibiki said, as she stood resolute, a look of sheer determination in her eyes. "We will still fight."
Doon snarled. "Were you not listening? Even if we defeat Reaper, by killing the one believed by so many to be a Messiah-"
"I already know what it's like to be shunned and hated for something I had no control over," Hibikii interrupted calmly, reaching a hand up to touch the scar where a fragment from Gungnir had pierced her heart at that concert all those years ago. "To be blamed, to be rejected, to be abandoned…"
There were uncomfortable and pained looks on all her friends' faces, especially the X-Squad and even Doom, knowing all too well what she was referring to.
"Hibikii…" Miku murmured.
"Even so, I kept going. All of us did," Hibikii said, clenching her hand into a fist. "So what makes you think this time will be any different?"
"You…you're being foolish!" Doom started.
"Hey! Only I get to call her a dummy!" Chris said angrily.
"And a curse? Is that supposed to frighten me?" Hibikii smiled. "Do you know how many curses I've been inflicted with already? The curse of Gungnir, to be slowly killed inside out by my own Symphogear. The Curse of Balal, which meant that from birth I was tainted with original sin and doomed to never truly be able to understand another person. The curse of the God-killer, which declared that all my power was good for was destroying things, not helping people. And every single one of those curses I destroyed. Like my dad told me, the kanji for curse and blessing are almost the same because they're two sides of the same coin. I use Gungnir freely without fear of losing my life. The Curse of Balal is gone forever. And I used my God-killing power to save the woman I'm going to marry, turning a fist good only for destroying into an open hand that joins with the hands and hearts of others to create a new tomorrow."
She extended a fist, then opened it into an outstretched palm. "And I will do so again. As many times as it takes."
"You are a brave and kind fool..." Doom muttered. "Just like Reed is..."
"Also, I checked with Jesus, he gave the okay to break this body." Nadohs cheerfully said. "It was starting to smell anyway."
"To the bitter end it shall be..." Overtaker slammed his hands together. "Come and die. Accept the end of all!"
"Ah shit-" Before Ultraguck could react, Overtaker swatted the hydra to the far end of the field, as it landed on its knees.
"La-la-la-LASERS!" The baby ducks chanted as they threw four laserdiscs at Overtaker, as the eldrtch crime lord growled in pain.
"In your face!" Futaba cackled
BGM: Game Over (Brandon Yates), Bite Me (AJ DiSpirito) and Degenerate (Starset)
"PERISH, YOU ARMORED HELL BEAST!" Bubby yelled.
"DEUS VULT, MOTHERFUCKER!" Grouse said, as Ultraguck charged Overtaker with its blades, taking a swing at it before being absolutely BODIED by a pistol whip, as Skulker played a 'Bruh' sound effect, as Bing grabbed the soundboard, and knocked Skulker on the noggin with it.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT BRUH SOUND EFFECT, I'M TIRED OF IT!" Bing snapped, as Badger broke out laughing, despite his life being in danger.
Overtaker growled, then started running towards Ultraguck. It did the same. They soon punched at the same time, canceling each other out. It stopped raining for a bit, then started downpouring again. It was silent for a few seconds.
Overtaker growled and leapt back, charging forward, as Ultraguck rushed forward as well. They tried kicking each other, but they cancelled out. They keep doing this, at the same time going higher and higher into the air. They passed the clouds and kept going up.
Suddenly, a giant mass of yellow data with a Wi-Fi router for a head appeared.
"You thought you could get away from me, allies of the Disc Masters, but everyone streams eventually!" Streaming growled.
"Oh come on, Streaming's hers?!" A baby duck yelled.
Just then, two robed figures appeared, and revealed themselves to be Orbot and Cubot in disguise.
The message "OPERATION UNEXPECTED REVEAL WAS SUCCESSFUL" is momentarily flashed at the top of the screen before it disappears and Orbot's eyes project a holographic video of Doctor Eggman.
"I've come to make an announcement! This territory is now the base for my upcoming Eggmanland 2."
Brosewx, understandably angry about this absurd declaration and the return of the strange man calling himself a 'genius', glared at Eggman, as Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings leapt into Ultraguck to stand alongside their annoyed father.
"What a bad joke!" Brosewx remarked.
[YO, WHY WE DOIN DEATH BATTLE NOW?!]
[EggPog]
[KoopaPog]
[EggPog]
[KoopaPog]
DrakBot: [Stop it now! This does not need to go to Twitch]
Eggman simply chuckled at his adversary's frustration, the projection of him vanishing as his fleet quickly arrives with a sonic boom that parts the clouds, looming imposingly over the battlefield.
"I am Doctor Eggman, your new and returning genius overlord." He stated, as many of his troops then start flying down onto the battlefield, along with Eggman himself piloting the Egg Dragoon. "Get a load of THIS!"
"How 'bout THIS, doc?!" Overtaker laughed, as tendrils burst out from his back and flew towards the fleet, as the numerous ships were absorbed into his body, as Streaming got an idea.
"Minions! Merge with the demonic being, and let us stream like we've never strummed before!" He decreed, as his horde of stream box robots rushed towards Overtaker, dragging the Badniks with them into him, as he started singing as deep pink light surged from his mouth, as Streaming latched onto Overtaker, as he gained wings made entirely of wires, and numerous cybernetic hands growing out his back, as the Egg Dragoon along with Eggman, were pulled into Overtaker, as Eggman was crushed by the weight of Streaming and the lights.
"Dear god, the Black Mesa Sweet Voice is encasing Dr. Eggman!!!" Coomer yelled.
"Did that fucker turn into Dracula on roids?!" Billy exclaimed.
ARTIFICIALLY EVOLVED ELDRITCH KING
AXIS OVERTAKER Z: OBLIVION KAISER
Just then, a looping laugh and spring-loaded head popping up from the doctor's flattened body. Thinking it's still the real deal, however, Baxbtieatm glares at Overtaker.
"You call this an invasion force? I've seen Gigi do better in party games!" She sniped.
Through his broadcast speaker from above, Eggman suddenly chuckled, alerting the squad that he was still alive.
"That's a decoy, you idiots. Infinite!"
Just then, another Infinite appeared, smirking under the mask.
"This power is without peer. It is the ultimate strength!" Infinite boasted as he increased the surrounding area's gravity, making quick work of some of the Koopa Troop — notably the Koopa General, Goomboss, and King Bob-omb — while Bowser used his magic to protect other members in barriers, though one unfortunate Goomba gets knocked out of his by a Moto Bug, who he gave a glare to right before getting squished, as he fights off the increased gravity himself. However, being a ghost and well-versed in illusions himself, King Boo is immune to the double of Infinite's abilities.
"Really? That's all he's got? Such pitiful illusions!" King Boo cackled. Taking advantage of the increased gravity, he summoned a Thwomp above the jackal, which fell too quickly for him to react, promptly sending the jackal flying into Overtaker's body, the Phantom Ruby flying into the air.
"Man pushes themselves towards unobtainable goals, and justifies their shortcomings with reality." Overtaker spoke as he threw punches towards Ultraguck as he grabbed it, and threw it into a planet so hard that it exploded with tectonic force and blood-red and black energy emerged from the ravaged planet, as Ultraguck was shoved through a portal, as Overtaker flew after them, the Koopa Troop and remaining Eggman Empire forces valiantly following while trying to grab the ruby. "They keep doing this for no reason other than to suffer. In the end, everyone dies. Everyone wants to die. Because that is what they are happy with. They are happy with life, and with death. Life is death because of how ruinous reality is."
"What was that?!" A certain Haruka Hanabishi exclaimed, as Ultraguck crashed into the pavement, as Morino Korisu, also known as Nero Alice, leapt into the mech and hijacked the controls. "What IS that?!"
"Never seen that before." Brosewx remarked.
"And down here we've drifted..." Inkerton chuckled. "The worthless sinners, right where we belong...at the bottom of the drain...but this time...I'm the one crawling out of it!"
Nero starts spamming the red "Gooner Mode" button, as Ultraguck gets up and takes off its wings from its back and starts twirling them around. Using its new speed, it charged toward Overtaker, who parried the wings with his dual revolvers.
"Damn, that's badass!" Kiwi Araga, Leoparde as a codename, exclaimed, surprised by the sudden mech battle.
"A..Alice-chan, stop!" Utena Hiiragi, also known as Magia Baiser, yelled. "They just fixed the city!"
Ultraguck turned around. "You two! Pump your fists and help us take a stand against a madman that fused with an outer god!" Drakus yelled.
Utena sputtered. "Th-then at least try not to knock down any buildings!" Utena yelled, as she fist pumped, Ultraguck growing spider-like legs as wings, as Kiwi shrugged and pumped her fist, as Ultraguck grew smoke-like tendrils out the back.
"Looks like you need some extra power, huh?" A voice said, as Nemo Anemo, Leberblume as a codename, and Matama Akoya, also known as Loco Musica, leapt onto a building, as Ultraguck grew shadow-like claws and a microphone tail.
CARNAL FURY POWER UP
ULTRAGUCK ARGANA: ENORMEETA AUGMENT
As the two mechs fight to get the Phantom Ruby, the gem is launched into the air, where Metal Sonic boosts in and quickly snatched it.
Noticing this, King Boo called upon purple lightning to strike him down, but Metal Sonic easily avoided them, as well as a Koopa Paratroopa's thrown spear, a Hammer Bro's hammer, and a nearby Bullet Bill. Mystle then fired Broggy from a cannon at Metal Sonic before Kamek teleported next to Drakus with an idea, using his magic to call upon three slots above the mech.
Meanwhile, Metal Sonic continued to evade a majority of the Koopa Troop, grabbing a Chain Chomp by its chain and throwing it at Broggy to knock him away in the process. As rain started to drizzle on the battlefield, Metal Sonic landed on the ground and began charging himself up with the Phantom Ruby, but before he could actually use it...
CHANCE TIME!
The Phantom Ruby suddenly disappeared from Metal Sonic's hand. Shocked, Metal Sonic frantically looked around for it, even rotating his head a full 360 degrees in his search before realizing it is now in the possession of Drakus. Understandably upset at this, much like the average player in Mario Party, he summoned the Green Chaos Emerald to his hand, transforming into Neo Metal Sonic.
"It's too late..." Neo Metal Sonic growled.
"You again, Enormeeta?" A voice said, as the mechs, Koopa Troop and Eggman Empire looked to see three magical girls. "How dare you terrify everyone with a giant monster battle?! Stop this, right now!" The pink one, Magia Magenta, yelled.
"Yes! This is what magical girls are all about!" Utena squealed.
"Okay, that's it, time for you all to die!" Neo Metal Sonic yelled, rushing at the mech, slashing at it with his claws.
"Yo, Succubus Gal, use the Medusa reflection technique!" Roman yelled.
"Wait, what?!? How?!?" Utena asked.
"Just button mash! You should have one button in front of you!" Taylor explained quickly.
Utena sees a red button and joystick and randomly uses them, yelling in confusion, as Ultraguck then uses the metal spider legs as a shield. Using it, he slowly got up on his feet again. As Neo Metal Sonic approached, he got a slash across his face from the slashes he hit Ultraguck with, then Ultraguck grabbed Overtaker's arm, spun around and kneed him in the face.
"Why are you so damn excited?!" Kaoruko Tenkawa, Magia Sulfur, yelled. "Let's get this over with!"
"Right! Let's dive into the mech and get to work!" Sayo Minakami, Magia Azul, said, as Kaoruko looked at her, flustered.
"Try rephrasin' that first!" She yelled, as she didn't want to think they're sexually assaulting the mech.
Just then, Alice appeared behind them, holding a toy she just got.
Transform! Ultrama'am!
She then tossed it to the trio, as the toy glowed bright, as Haruka yelped, as Ultraguck, grew a syringe-like blade on one of its arms, grew ribbon tendrils from her back, and a large set of arms made of energy formed beside him.
VERITA EVOLUTION!
ULTRAGUCK ARGANA: MAGIA MAXIMUM!
Haruka, Sayo, and Kaoruko yelped as they appeared in tubes filled with a unique blue substance, beside the baby ducks and geese.
"What's up?" One of the geese said.
"What happened to my clothes?!" Magenta yelped, covering her chest and crotch, as Sayo and Kaoruko did the same.
"Don't worry 'bout that, just accept the weirdness of it all..." One of the ducks said, sagely.
"Now then, Supreme-star Blitz!" Preme yelled, as Ultraguck raised his left arm, then an electric guitar was sent flying to Ultraguck from the Sphinx, all the way in Egypt, and then used the guitar to blast Overtaker to the moon repeatedly until he couldn't move.
But then, Overtaker laughed maniacally...as the real Eggman arrived on the battlefield in the Death Egg Robot, alongside Sage, catching the attention of a Paragoomba and Slicer about to engage in their own battle and a few background Koopa Troopas running with their comrades as the rain begins to pour.
"All according to plan!" Eggman cackled.
"You've lost the battle before it has begun." Sage calmly said, as Neo Metal Sonic leapt next to his master's mech.
"Excellent work as always, Metal!" Eggman praised, as Neo Metal Sonic gave Eggman a nonchalant thumbs up as the Death Egg Robot turned to Sage. "Ready to wrap this up, Sage?"
"As you command." Sage replied.
"You know what they say: 'The more the merrier!'" Overtaker said, letting out a laugh, as he grew spikes and started attaching pieces of the moon on his body, as he merged with the Death Egg Robot, as Eggman was swiftly crushed by the merging, as Overtaker grew more cybernetic motifs, and blades resembling halves of a mustache grew from his arms.
EGG EVOLUTION PLAN
OMEGA OVERTAKER Z: EGG-LUNA REAPER GOD
Bowser Jr. splashed Ultraguck with black goop, completely covering it in it and letting it fall down a black vortex as the Koopalings followed suit. Within the darkness, Ultraguck's eyes opened with fury, left with only one thing to say...
"Game ON!" Ultraguck yelled.
Leaping from the dark void, he threw a punch at Overtaker, but Neo Metal Sonic kicked him out of the way and took the blow with his Black Shield, which is subsequently shattered by the punch as Metal gets launched far away as a result. Sage teleported away from their clash as the mech rushed towards Overtaker, which takes a step back as the two make their stance against each other. Both go to throw a punch at the other, lightning striking between the two as the war rages on, but Ultraguck is quicker to connect his and breaks off a chunk of the eldritch crime lord's face, emitting a shockwave that sends them all flying into another portal.
The Brown Crewmate made it to the source of the sabotage in the Skeld, the reactor, and warily checked around them before they entered. But right as they do, a faraway vent squeaked open and close. As the Brown Crewmate stepped into the reactor, they worriedly rechecked their surroundings, only to spot a sinister smile and visor behind them too late as the Cyan Crewmate charged at them, impaling their head with their extended tongue before pulling them in to chomp them in half, revealing themselves to be one of the Impostors before walking away. The Yellow Fall Guy then reached the reactor and got scared at the sight of the now lifeless Crewmate, frightened for what's to come.
However, before they can report the dead body, the reactor meltdown's timer runs out, destroying the ship and ejecting all the beans into space; in particular, the Green Fall Guy pointed finger guns at nothing in particular, the Purple Crewmate tossed up a peace sign, the Yellow Fall Guy and Blue Crewmate played Rock, Paper, Scissors (with the former throwing Rock to beat the latter throwing Scissors), the White Crewmate gives a salute, and the Purple Fall Guy hushed the Cyan Impostor. Right after this, the beans land in the Blunderdome as a countdown goes off, as Ultraguck and Overtaker fell in front of them, the Crewmates, Impostors and Fall Guys flying into the mech.
"Try this on for size!" Exlsegeil said, as Ultraguck pulled out a Hollywood Chainsaw and revved it up. Hollywood Chainsaws, for those of you unaware, are a special type of chainsaw (as in one in every 20 chainsaws get this adaptation) that only need to be yanked once to turn on, are practically weightless, cut through anything, and never run out of power. "I'm craving dragon steaks..." Exlsegeil had that creepy perverse look on her face that she did whenever she watched a slasher horror film. However, the Purple Fall Guy, now annoyed by this unexpected situation, revealed themself to be a shapeshifted Red Impostor all along. They then draw out their knife and stab at the Pink Fall Guy, who evaded the first two strikes before cowering in fear at the third, allowing the Impostor's knife to finally hit them... only for the knife to bounce off their body.
After a couple more failed stab attempts, the Red Impostor then stabbed their hand to check their blade's sharpness, immediately regretting it after a beat of silence. As they ran away in pain, Red then revealed their mouth and tongue before cramming their gun into a port, using it to shoot at Overtaker on pure instinct.
Ultraguck then charged into battle against Grand Fisher, chainsaw blaring loudly and started by cutting him in half, covering herself in the monster's blood. Ultraguck then began slicing up Overtaker into little bloody pieces, all the while laughing maniacally. As the eldritch crime lord resembled less a physical being and more a heaving, steaming mess of pure blood and flesh, the laughter became louder and more hysterical. As he severed his head from his neck, Exlsegeil's face going almost as red with excitement as the blood covering Ultraguck's body, as she orgasmed. Multiple times.
"That was great," she cooed.
"Why do you let her hang with you?" the Red Impostor drew on a whiteboard, with a disturbed look.
"Because I'm afraid of what she'll do if we just leave her alone," Baxbtieatm answered.
"Still, that was easier than expected," Nansemix said. "In the spirit of victory, shall we all celebrate with Chicago deep dish pizza?"
"Aye~!"
As Ultraguck continued posing with swagger, he was surprised when a dark light consumed all of the pieces. "Oh..."
Suddenly, Overtaker was cloaked in a mass of shadows, morphing into a very dragon-like creature the size of the AvtoVAZ main assembly building, the Aerium hangar, Surat Diamond Bourse, Boeing's Everett factory and Burj Khalifa combined, wielding a sword as big as his body, with an angelic and demonic motif going on with the Blunderdome and Skeld merging with him to make hin look cybernetic and even more biblical and demonic in appearance. Because, sure, we all know, when you start out as a monster, your power level is proportional to how unnatural you look, but the real power level is in the biblical and demonic motifs. An amorphous blob summoned by the most dark, blasphemous and heretical rites, consumer of worlds and devourer of souls, was on average going to last twenty minutes against even a generic hero, while a humanoid monster is able to go 4 hours max, but if they have a biblical and/or demonic motif, even the blob is guaranteed to require at least heroic willpower, or Big Damn Heroes to the rescue, or maybe even a heroic sacrifice- maybe all three of them.
ASCENDED NIGHTMARE FUEL GOD
ARMAGEDDON OVERTAKER Z: BIBLI-DEVIL EMPEROR
"BWAHAHAHA! You thought you'd best the likes of me? I've eaten heroes twice your age for breakfast!" Overtaker growled, a bit of Karkas' true personality beneath the sophisticated veneer seeping through.
"Oh? You have? How did it taste?" Drakus asked, genuinely curious.
"Like sausages," Overtaker answered with a sadistic grin, hoping to scare the squad off.
"Mmmmmm, I love pork, but I always thought MILFs tasted like chicken," Exlsegeil answered. She began drooling with a depraved look. "I wonder how you'll taste. You're the first eldritch horror beyond mortal comprehension I've ever met."
"...what?" Overtaker said, and though his face did not allow for much expression, there was something disconcerted about his voice- he was not used to this kind of enthusiasm. Looking into her eyes, he started wondering who really was the monster of this story...
Exlsegeil then tilted her head 90 degrees, making an audible crack. Her eyes turned bloodshot and began bleeding down her cheek. With her tongue, Exlsegeil licked in part of the blood.
"Let's do this, Lovecraft style!" Ultraguck's body suddenly twisted and contorted in ways that would make any sane and normal human being die. He began to grow, swell and expand, until he was the same size as Overtaker. The entire head was encased in purple flames. The rest of the armor gained obsidian black streaks, with spikes on the wrists and shoulders, and somewhere, somebody was not only drawing porn of what's gonna happen after this is over, but writing an extensive set of apologetics on tumblr about why the X-Squad's weren't such bad people after all; sort of how The Joker was just a misunderstood comedian, or how Voldemort is just a poor boy from a poor family, who should be spared his life from this monstrosity.
Ultraguck has become the spirit of nightmares that made the likes of Freddy Krueger, The Boogeyman, As Nodt, The Joker and Scarecrow shit their pants in terror of them. In short, he became metal as fuck, and a shoe-in to be the costume of the frontman or frontwoman for any EDM/heavy metal band.
Still dumbfounded, Overtaker looked horrified. "What is that?!" He yelled.
Exlsegeil answered by making a shrill maniacal laughing at the pitch of a chipmunk. Something, even by the standards of an extra-dimensional, astronomical abomination, was deeply wrong here. "DEATH OF A THOUSAND MINDFUCKS!"
GODLESS TERROR AND BRINGER OF HOPE
ULTRAGUCK ARGANA: MINDFUCK SPECTRE
Instantly, thousands and thousands of tiny ghost-like wisps with eyes emerged from the mech in a multitude of directions, phasing through everything they touched. However, they then suddenly converged on Grand Fisher's head at high speeds, jamming into his skull and brain. Each one was designated to give him a hallucinogenic nightmare, each one worse than the last.
As Overtaker got up, he smirked as he pulled out a detonator, pressing the button on it.
"You wanna play that game? Okay then, let's play!" Overtaker laughed, as the detonator activated a nearby Banana Bomb.
OOOH, BANA—
The fruit then promptly exploded, sending them both, and the crown, falling into the abyss, as the Koopa Troop and Eggman Empire followed, as the fight transitioned to space... somehow.
With the fight now becoming a full-on free-for-all, Neo Metal Sonic is the first to try to grab the crown, but the Brown Crewmate used their Guardian Angel powers to encase it within a shield to prevent their opponent from collecting it. Then, Orbot and Cubot immediately get chomped on by the Orange Fall Guy, who turned into Pac-Man as the Brown Crewmate was protecting the crown, before tossing it to Ultraguck, before immediately proceeding to help the Koopa Troop save the omniverse. As the crown drifted in space afterward, a Slicer attempted to get it themself before getting hit by the Yellow Fall Guy's Hadoken, before being vaporized by Red's gun as Ultraguck spun it around, destroying most of the Badniks and a nearby planet in the process.
"What the?" The Chaos Emeralds surrounded a shocked Sage as the blast destroys the Egg Fleet and creates a black hole behind her, Neo Metal Sonic and Overtaker, sucking in a majority of the Eggman Empire's troops and heavily damaging Overtaker.
"Sage! The Death Egg! MAX POWER!!!" Overtaker shouted, Eggman's voice seeping in.
Nodding at her father's command, Sage and Neo Metal Sonic warped away with the Chaos Emeralds as the black hole dissipated, revealing the Death Egg by moving it out of the way of the Moon after the gemstones flash around it. She then used the Emeralds to charge its Final Egg Blaster, which fired at Ultraguck and the Koopa Troop. As it approached them all, everyone watched in fear as a kneeling Koopa prayed to any deity who could listen to avert the impending doom and Overtaker's remaining robotic minions attempt to flee.
Just then, Pink pulled out He-Man's Power Sword while mumbling his famous catchphrase, and in response, Red pulled out Henry's Magic Pencil and draws a sword of their own, as Ultraguck rushed forth as the two blades clashed against the beam amongst the stars and asteroids, coming to a standstill...only for someone to fire a beam of magic at the Death Egg, turning it into a Question Mark Block. Startled, Overtaker saw that the beam was fired by a now tranquil Kamek, who glared at Overtaker, as Ultraguck grinned.
"FOUL BEAST! PREPARE YOUR ANUS, BECAUSE THERE AIN'T NO BREAKS ON THIS RAPE TRAIN!" Ultraguck yelled, as a barrage of chains, doused in purple hellfire, then grabbed Overtaker, and started pulling him towards Ultraguck with the help of a vacuum the Pink Fall Guy found.
Overtaker attempted to escape the suction with his new jetpack and even by running once the jetpack immediately got sucked in, but when even that does not work, he pulled out his guns to shoot Ultraguck as the gap closed. However, Kamek fired another beam at the weapon to turn them into a wooden cutout of itself, much to his horror.
Brosewx chuckled darkly. "So long, gay Overtaker!" He yelled, as Ultraguck pulled out the Drak-Cudgel, and lodged the crown at the base, as it glowed an ominous purple, as his hands caught on fire.
"STEP OFF!" Ultraguck yelled, as, with all his hard-boiled fury, Ultraguck came up with the cane, smashing it straight into Overtaker's chin, knocking him for a loop, then threw a devastating karate chop into his chest that launched them both towards the giant Question Mark Block, as Overtaker could only scream, as the components yelled, roared and screamed in panic as they couldn't escape their imminent end.
After a moment, Overtaker and the remaining Eggman Empire troops crashed into the block as it slammed right above the Last Resort, blowing them up in a massively magnificent golden explosion as the squad laughed, cheered and whooped triumphantly, as coins rained down, supplying the victorious army with numerous extra lives with which to bring back their fallen soldiers.
END BGM
Drakus chuckled as Ultraguck detransformed, as they saw Karkas, Benry, Solver, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezendipiti's skeletal husks, as Reaper, Hellen, Wattles, Steward, Freed, Valiper, Kokabiel, Mistral, Sundowner, Hurricane, Monsoon, Eggman and Streaming were dazed and confused, as Solver's heart tried to crawl away, only for Uzi to eat it, as her eyes became a yellow-purple gradient.
"You used up all the mental energy you saved for this," Drakus noted, as he booped Reaper on the nose. "There's no coming back now, y'all are going away for a long while."
However, before the Pink Fall Guy can have an existential crisis over the omniverse being real, they picked up the nearby crown from Drakus' hands and placed it on their head as their expression returned to normal. With their victory now properly assured, confetti fell from the heavens as Pink did a victory dance over their enemies to celebrate their win.
"... Well." Neo sighed, scratching her head as she wandered over and poked Hellen a few times with the hilt of her parasol. "... shit. Now what?"
"RIAS, I CAME AS SOON AS I COULD, WHERE'S KOKABIEL, I'LL SAVE YOU MY BELOVED SISTER- oh, he's already down."
"Yeah… I uh…" Mystle shrugged, kicking Kokabiel again for good measure. "... Sorry guys. Bit of a climax, huh?"
Issei sighed. "I'll say. Mou… there goes my chance to suck on the Prez' titties…"
"Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am?!" Hellen shouted out as new OVDF recruits Loona and Blitzo (the o is silent, mind you) dragged her into her jail cell by the arms, and Moxxie and Millie did the same for Reaper, Freed, Streaming, Monsoon, Sundowner, Mistral, Hurricane, Eggman, Kokabiel, Valiper, Steward and Wattles.
"You are a band of asshats, worth less than the shit clogging my toilet. So Loonie... Mills... Mox... Let's take out the trash!" Blitzo said, as they then threw them, not too gently, into their new prison cells.
"Looks like they are right where they belong...just fucking garbage now, huh?" Loona said, with her arms on her hips.
"Loona! That was highly offensive!" Moxxie shouted out as eyes were on him as Loona had her eyebrows raised. "You know that I'm right! If I was a bit of garbage in those jail cells; I couldn't stand to be compared to those people..." Moxxie then said, smirking as they started snickering and Loona then patted him on the back.
"That's my husband! You know you think that our new boss can do us a favour after what we went through in that trial. Like, say, lifting someone's undeserved ban from the Pain Games?" Millie then asked as they went back to work.
"Now that we know I'm a new outer god, I can even switch out my heads and torsos! I'm gonna mod myself into the most dangerous superweapon the omniverse has ever seen! Muahahahaha!" Noticing the deadpan or concerned expressions she was receiving from the others once they exchanged goodbyes to the ORC and told them to call them if they needed help and got back to Sinner's Lane, Uzi retracted her maniacal laughter. "...Too soon?"
Powder just sighed, shaking her head a bit. "At least take me on a date first, 'Zi."
"And by the standards of myself, you're but a newborn..." Ombra added.
"Yeah but no seriously, I appreciate that you're planning on training me and all, but be warned; making me dress up like a demon queen is REALLY not a good choice." Uzi added. She distantly noted she'd have to write that down ASAP. But for now… sleep.
Veruca admired the pentacle locket as it reflected the glow of the light on its silver surface.
"So, are you going to tell us what the necklace does?" Sage asked.
Veruca glanced up to see the squad looking at her, with Sage and Neo Metal Sonic beside them, battered and bruised after the battle.
"Is it a protection amulet?" Mystle asked. "A phylactery? A vibrator?"
Veruca chuckled a bit at the guesses. "See for yourself."
Veruca gently tossed the locket to Lyre, and she regarded it with confusion when she caught it.
"This... this necklace isn't magic," Lyre noted.
"No, it is not," Veruca confirmed. "Open it."
Lyre undid the latch and opened the locket. Inside was a photograph of Rupert Salt holding baby Veruca in his arms, with Angina Salt behind him. Despite how world weary they obviously were, they were also positively glowing with pride and love for their young daughter.
"All that just to get a picture of you and your parents back?" Sage asked.
"It's my favorite picture of them," Veruca explained as she took the locket back from Lyre. "I found it in daddy's trunk of magic when I learned of his supernatural inclinations. At first, I was uncertain why he would have kept it with his collection of mystical artifacts, but as time has gone on, I think I know his reason. It was to always remind him what he was fighting for."
"And you, in turn, draw the same inspiration from it," Doom noted. "Like father, like daughter."
"Indeed," Veruca nodded.
Mike smirked and shook his head. "Somehow you always manage to surprise me. Now then, before we were dragged into a clamber to the roof, I was told we'd get a meal."
Veruca chuckled as she closed the locket and placed it around her neck.
"Then let's grab some dinner, then..."
"Don't forget that I am your firstborn's godmother, Drak. Your sis has to wait until you're on the second child." Preme added.
"At least they'll have an auntie Zinny!" Zinnia continued.
"You are all ridiculous, mortals..." Ombra said. They all busted out in laughter. This felt good...wholesome, even...Ombra felt he could get used to this.
A distortion in the sky happened, like a piece of the sky moved then it became solid, something invisible becoming visible. It was a Meloetta.
As you can see, which is me, the Pokémon which embodies song
Was the one who narrated through singing all along
But my time is over, so is this chapter of the X-Squad, I will bid you all goodbye
It is quite bittersweet and I'll miss it, not gonna lie
Samekichi yelped. "Stay back!"
But the show is not over, it has just begun
Thank you all again, and I'm glad we all got along
Can't believe the arc is nearly done
Entertainment, hope you got some
"Well, we found the singing voice!" Coomer said.
I got a sense to belong
And about further ado, we have none
Hereby ends Maurice, Maurice, Maurice
Still grumpy but more at ease
Life was thought and now he's pleased
And that was the tale of Maurice, Maurice, Maurice
Hates every-
The Meloetta was hit in the head by a shoe. "What the...?"
She was then hit by a Master Ball and trapped inside. Maurice approached it and picked it up. "Peace and quiet at last."
A new adventure is about to begin for the team at Prehistoric Park and Head Keeper Bob is meeting Nigel and Chiyo at the exhibit of the park's largest resident…
Rob stood on the platform attached to a fence that stretched around one of the largest paddocks in not only Prehistoric Park but the world. The paddock consisted of one giant plain full of ferns as well as having a few clumps of conifer trees genetically engineered to grow both faster and taller than other trees. In the centre of the paddock was a lake which sparkled with the sun reflecting its golden rays off of the surface. However, Rob was looking at the residents of the paddock. Ten giant jet black sauropods with pink spots lived in this exhibit, each of their necks as thick as the trunks of the conifers themselves and their feet could quite easily crush a car with ease. They were Paralititan, straight from Cretaceous Egypt.
"We have a few sauropods at Prehistoric Park," Rob explained. "The smallest is Europasaurus, then there's these Paralititan at 65 short tons. They're the largest prehistoric beast at the park, although Brachiosaurus holds the title for tallest. That is until today…"
Nadohs has actually been pleading with the owner John Hammond to bring back the largest dinosaur to ever walk the earth.
At that moment, the X-Squad walked the steps onto the platform, as Ombra stared at everything in confusion and awe. Maya followed up behind them, shaking her head at Ombra's childlike innocence.
"So what's this dinosaur whose exhibit has taken up a lot of Isla Muerta?" Rob asked, sighing.
"Argentinosaurus huinculensis!" Nadohs laughed. "At 92 short tons, Argentinosaurus makes Paralititan look small. Although, there is another possible largest dinosaur called Amphicoelias, but that's the upper guess. The lower one puts it smaller than Argentinosaurus, but it would still be massive! It could also be a species of Diplodocus, so we'll leave that one for now."
Rob was speechless! Doing a quick calculation in his head, this new dinosaur was around 50% larger than the Prehistoric Park's largest resident. No wonder it needed a great chunk of the second largest island to house it!
"Wait, why did I build two exhibits?" Bob asked.
"We, and when I say we, I mean Nadohs, thought it would be a good idea to rescue the dinosaur that hunted it," Maya answered with a small smile, indicating that she actually did like this plan.
What sort of monster could have hunted an animal as large as Argentinosaurus? Dot pulled out a tape measure and measured up to one and a half metres in length.
"That is the length of the skull of Mapusaurus," Maya laughed, seeing Rob's mouth comically drop open "It was closely related to the slightly large Giganotosaurus, one good thing though is they're found in different areas. I would dread to see those two competing against each other, and Muldoon doesn't want too many big carnivores coming through at the same time for the sake of his mental health, so we're shelving the plan on getting the Giga for later."
Argentinosaurus and Mapusaurus lived in the Cenomanian of the Cretaceous 93 million years ago. Here, great herds of giants ambled across the land with giant carnivores hunting them. The squad, on this adventure, will be going to Argentina to rescue a few…
Hard dirt cracked under the wheels of the jeep with audible crunches. The sky was bright blue, with only a few marshmallow-like clouds drifting aimlessly. Further to the north was a small forest of conifers, although calling it a forest was a slight overstatement. It was largely a collection of a dozen trees nestled close together. Although what really got their attention was a giant skeleton that covered a huge chunk of the plain before them. It was a huge titanosaur with its huge grey bones sticking out of the brown earth like skeletal trees. On some of the ribs, there were slivers of cyan flesh that scavengers had yet to pick clean. Maya easily managed to get past one thick rib, so she could stand in the middle of the ribcage, which easily could have held around three elephants.
"Is this what I think it is?" Veruca asked, awestruck at the size of the carcass.
"You bet. It's an Argentinosaurus!" Maya cried, waving her hands to emphasise the size of the dinosaur. "Judging by the size of this guy, he or she or they, we don't judge, must have been fully grown when they died. It's amazing how big these sauropods got, but Cretaceous Patagonia hosted a full line of these giants. In the Aptian with Amargasaurus, the Cenomanian with these giant Argentinosaurus, and the Campanian and Maastrichtian with Dreadnoughtus and Saltasaurus."
She stepped out of the ribcage and walked up to the squad with the dirt cracking again under his feet. Inkerton dreaded to think what the sound would be like with a sauropod the size of Argentinosaurus walking around.
"There's a nesting site nearby, and Mr Arnold found that there was a flash flood that wiped the area out. We should rescue a few of these beasts before the flood hits." Snatcher added.
"From my own research, I've found out there's quite a few carnivore remains nearby nesting sites. They must have taken full advantage of the eggs," Weiss replied almost silently.
The jeep was decided to be the best way to hunt for both Argentinosaurus and Mapusaurus. Although Mapusaurus wasn't as fast as other theropods like Gallimimus, it only had to take a few long strides and they would be at the mercy of the jaws of one of the largest carnivores of all time. To keep spirits up, Maya decided to talk.
"It's a common misconception that Giganotosaurus hunted Argentinosaurus. With them both living together in Cenomanian Patagonia, people thought they lived side by side. They seem to forget that Giganotosaurus lived on one side of Patagonia, Argentinosaurus lived on the other side."
The jeep approached some thicker trees, which meant that Drakus had to slow down in order to better avoid the trees which were edging closer and closer together, casting a black shadow across the dirt which briefly shielded them from the bright Cretaceous sun. Peeking through the trees it became obvious that the landscape had changed other than the addition of further flora. The once flat landscape had become much steeper and they could faintly see the almost whitewashed vertical surface which made up the nearby cliffs.
It does not take long for the squad to come across signs of a large hungry carnivore.
The trees started to thin out revealing the entrance to a small valley although most of it was blocked from view by some trees. A thin trickle of water swept over some rocks which formed a slight stream. Almost immediately though, crimson blood started to mingle with the shimmering blue water…
Meanwhile back at the park, Rob and behaviourist Owen Grady are having to deal with a problem with Prehistoric Park's current large theropods; namely the Tyrannosaurus pack.
The amber eyes of Tempus, the park's tyrannosaurus girl, stared with great meaning at the large Moses, who turned to her and snarled. Mathilda, Prehistoric Park's sub-adult female, paced up and down while watching Moses. By his feet was a giant carcass of a cow, although, through the work of InGen's Dr Henry Wu, the cow was much larger than normal thanks to a mixture of genetic engineering and being grown in a lab. The giant cow was perfect for feeding giant carnivores like Tyrannosaurus…if they were willing to share.
"Everyone, keep an eye on Tempus!" Owen yelled as he waved his hand. A nearby part of the electrified exhibit bleeped, and a huge gate swung open allowing for a Tyrannosaurus, the adult female Lumi, to enter the exhibit. While park staff first laughed at the thought of a giant chicken/dinosaur hybrid, when the park first got the Tyrannosaurus, they were instantly proved wrong. The Tyrannosaurus was more like a bigger, stockier, meaner and flightless eagle.
Tyrannosaurus lived in loose knit packs, and the park team have decided to place the sub-adults Mathilda and Tempus with the adults in the hope that the adults would keep the younger ones in line.
Tempus gave a deep grumble in Lumi's direction, mumbling how unfair Moses was being. The older female bellowed so loudly that Rob and Owen were almost swept away in a cloud of fleeing macaws trying desperately to escape the giants in their midst. Tempus sheepishly backed down and walked over to Mathilda, who smirked and snapped at her nose.
"No need to spray them!" Rob yelled at a few keepers. "That's a playful snap. Trust me you would know if that wasn't playful."
Moses nudged his mate with his snout, before heading off into the direction that Lumi just came from. She picked up where her partner had finished and began tearing huge bloodied chunks from the carcass. After a few large mouthfuls, she had her fill and went to rest under a nearby tree; the shade protecting her from the day's heat. Immediately, Tempus and Mathilda set about what was left on the carcass with their massive jaws crunching bone and tearing what flesh remained off the unfortunate cattle. Rob turned to the camera.
"We've had some success," Rob explained. "We created a little area that we can let Moses and Lumi in to look after their chicks. Tempus and Mathilda have also started to fall into line with Lumi, but Moses, well, not so much…"
"Tempus is smaller than Lumi," Owen explained. "These guys know that Lumi is untouchable, and in the T-Rex world, males are smaller and less aggressive, so if they want to move up, they have to take down Moses. There will be a fight ,and I just hope that the fight will leave the territorial issues at that."
Her mouth bloodied from the carcass, Mathilda stared at the two on the balcony.
Meanwhile, in Cretaceous Argentina, the squad may have found one of their targets for rescue. Whether for better or for worse is another matter.
Neo edged the jeep slowly down the side of the stream where the trees had thinned out. It also revealed the owner of the blood that was now trickling down the once blue stream. A dead ornithopod that resembled a Hypsilophodon was missing its head and half of its body. Whatever wasn't already smeared in blood had little droplets fall on it from the red jaws of its killer. It was a ten metre long theropod whose entire face was jet black, (although that colour was pale gray around the jaws), while the body was covered in thin feathers which were snow white in colour, except for the black spots on the stomach. Whatever part of the body not covered in feathers was a slightly light shade of gray. The dinosaur had also quite a pointed snout compared to the more rounded one of Tyrannosaurus. It opened its jaws and grasped one of the remaining legs of the unfortunate ornithopod which allowed it to tear off the leg with a sickening snap.
"It looks like a Carcharodonotosaurid," Nikki whispered, leaning towards Maya. "Is that Mapusaurus?"
"Yeah," Maya whispered, trying also not to alert the hungry carnivore. "Look at those teeth. Just like Giganotosaurus... Flat with a serrated edge to slice through flesh. I think it only managed to go through that ornithopod's bones because of the small size of it. This is a good opportunity to rescue one. That flood would most likely wipe out all the food here, starving it."
Shan Yu would have to be sneaky to rescue the Mapusaurus. One wrong move could alert the dinosaur and the whole plan would be ruined.
The cameraperson, sitting in the jeep, went to lean forward to get a closer look, but fell forward onto the radio. Immediately, the CD in the jeep's radio started blurting out dangerously loud music. The Mapusaurus looked up, giving them a clear look at a long white scar on its right cheek from a battle with another one of its kind. The Mapusaurus gave a roar that sounded like the terrifying rumble of thunder, and it charged at the unknown creature. Quickly, Neo put the jeep into reverse. Jaws agape, the Mapusaurus lunged at the hood of the car, narrowly missing it. Blackheart blared the horn, putting the dinosaur off, which gave him enough time to turn around. He sped off, but the Mapusaurus had recovered enough to continue on with the hunt. Blackheart swerved in between the trees of the forest but the Mapusaurus turned with each tree.
"Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?" Roman yelled, hatching a plan.
"Oh my god, oh my god. I'm going to be eaten by a dinosaur!" the cameraperson yelled in reply.
"I'll open the portal to send us through, and hopefully the Mapusaurus will follow!"
She leaned out the window and opened the portal. Immediately, they vanished and emerged in the dusty portal pathway that would lead to the rest of the park and the holding pens. Blackheart drove further ahead, allowing the crew members to close a solid reinforced door behind them. The Mapusaurus came barreling though, tripping as it did so, glaring at everyone in confusion and rage.
With an ornithopod waiting for him back in the valley, the strange newcomer was too much of a hassle for a hungry Mapusaurus, but it failed to swerve, and now Scabfang is here.
"Why did I hope you wouldn't bring anything back?!" Bob exclaimed, facepalming. "This is Nublar, not Muerta. Arnold's been too busy making sure the generators feed power to the new monorail thing."
Suddenly there was a roar. A roar of a Tyrannosaurus. Getting in the jeep, they quickly arrived at Hell's Creek, where another battle was taking place. Mathilda was circling Moses, who gave a bellow. Owen ran up to them, with Suzanne following after.
"Mathilda's challenging Moses for his dominance in the pack!" he panted as they arrived.
This battle could be the last battle the Tyrannosaurs have. If Moses defeats Mathilda, it would stop her from challenging him for dominance.
The two went and bit each other at the same time with each Tyrannosaur biting the other on their shoulder. However their thick skin meant that it hardly made an impact. Mathilda went in and slammed into Moses with her head but he quickly turned around and bit her thigh. In panic, Mathilda gave out a pitiful whine and Moses let go. In defeat, Mathilda slunk off to Tempus who stood staring at Moses. In victory, Moses gave a roar of triumph.
"Moses has won that battle without a scratch," Mackenzie commented. "I'll do a quick check up on Mathilda, but judging how she's walking, I think there might only be a few scratches."
"That should stop the Rex civil war," Maya said looking at Moses and Tempus, who, for the first time, were drinking from the lake side by side "Mathilda has beaten Tempus and now Moses has beaten Mathilda. That clearly has made the hierarchy to be Lumi, then Moses, then Mathilda and then Tempus. There should be no more fights, unless if Moses or Mathilda get ill or old."
Now with the T-Rex civil war coming to an end, the squad is now returning to rescue an Argentinosaurus and another Mapusaurus for Scabfang, unless it kills them. They have brought a little toy with them, however.
The small plane felt much safer than a jeep. Especially as a Mapusaurus could not sink its jaws into a plane high in the sky, which was now dangerously turning black with storm clouds. They quickly found the nesting site where the Argentinosaurus would be laying their eggs; a large plain cluttered with trees and right next to a small river. Blackheart flew on ahead though to find the herd and was in luck.
"Down there!" Maya shouted.
Drakus looked down to see a herd of sauropods that even looked colossus from even high in the sky. He flew down closer and ended flying right above the behemoths. Each sauropod rumbled as they walked across the land leaving great craters from where they stood one thunderous foot. The largest was at least as long as the Christ the Redeemer statue was high. The Argentinosaurus was cyan in colour except for the underside which was light blue.
"Everyone, I give you the largest dinosaur!"
Now that they have found the Argentinosaurus, it was just a matter of taking them home without becoming a pancake.
With the Argentinosaurus going to the nesting site, Drakus chose to land the plane there, although another little dinosaur was already there. They recognised it as being the same ornithopod species that Scabfang had chosen to dine on. They were around one and a half metres long, bipedal with not too long forearms, a rounded light red head that was elongated, two giant eyes and a blue body that was covered in downy fluff. They were making small honking noises as they swallowed gastroliths by the riverbed.
"I recognise these guys!" Nigel exclaimed looking in his spotter's guide for reference "They are Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis, only just evolved. A small iguanodont, although they spent more time on their back legs. A few have been discovered to have drowned in mud left by the foot of an Argentinosaurus."
"Wait, these guys will drown in the flood if we don't do something. An Argentinosaurus might survive because of their height but a Gasparinisaura doesn't have that luxury," Maya said, frantically.
Luckily, they had a plan. Being the smallest thing on the plains naturally they were skittish. Crew members started making noises around the little dinosaurs, who darted towards the nearest free space where the portal opened, sending them through.
Suddenly, from the river a pterosaur startled by the noise took flight. They peered around at the river to see a whole group of pterosaurs but they were very strange looking. They lacked a crest, instead having a bony head as well as a gold furry body and a three metre long wingspan. Curiously, their bottom beak had a row of filaments which overlapped nicely with the top beak which looked like the filaments that filter feeders used.
"I thought Pterodaustro was extinct now..." Maya muttered.
"They are, these guys are a closely related species, Unwindia trigonus. Only discovered in 2011 as well. These amazing pterosaurs would either go to shallow sea water or rivers like this, where they would sieve the water for small crustaceans. Their back teeth would then crush the crustaceans. Too bad the flash flood will destroy their habitat and food source…"
Drakus had a little twinkle in his eye. Knowing what that meant, Vexen sent a crew member back through the portal to inform Rob of the new pterosaurs for Pterosaur Aviary. Drakus got in the plane, and quickly flew off like a mechanical bird, allowing the squad to make some noise, which scared the Unwindia into flight. Like a flying ace, Drakus managed to maneuver himself in front of the pterosaurs, and opened the portal, sending the 500 pterosaurs through. He quickly landed and the final crew members wheeled the plane through the portal.
Now, with some new pterosaurs and ornithopods, the squad are well prepared to rescue a few Mapusaurus and Argentinosaurus.
The ground shook. With each step the herd of Argentinosaurus came over the horizon.
"This is it!" Maya yelled in excitement. "These guys will spend some time here before laying their eggs. I just want to try something first."
Maya had a series of pressure plates that the park used to weigh the trucks. Each was a large black square and could measure the truck wirelessly. She quickly set up the scales so that one colossus foot of a behemoth could safely stand on it. One of the Argentinosaurs approaching had some huge bloodied gashes on the legs and stomach; the Mapusaurus hunting technique of slicing off flesh and waiting until blood loss or infection killed the unfortunate sauropod. A roar behind them brought them to their senses just as the rain started to thunder down. A pack of hungry Mapusaurus had arrived to finish the job on the injured Argentinosaurus and find their leader. Luckily, Drakus had a portal which he opened, sending the pack through. Although this close shave which won Prehistoric Park the first Mapusaurus pack in 90 million years left Nigel breathless.
"That was too close. Those packs are loosely formed, although we've just saved their lives. A fossil sight found many of them which had drowned during a flash flood."
The dried dirt soon turned into liquid mud as the sauropods approached. The head one stepped on the scales and the reading lit up in Maya's hands.
"Amazing! 95 short tons."
"That's something like 25 elephants. This guy must be the boss!" Drakus yelled in amazement.
Maya suddenly became crestfallen when two managed to somehow stand on them at once. There was a sickening crunch and in big letters his readings read Err. Arnold would not be happy that a sauropod had smashed the scales. The river water started to expand rapidly under the strain of the torrential rain and soon it was eating its way up through the squelching mud. Seizing the chance, Taylor opened the portal just as the herd was on them. Through the portal, they ran up to Rob, who was smiling. He had done a good job with the exhibit consisting of a giant plain with a great river running through it. In the distance Isla Muerta's mountain could be seen shimmering in the sun.
"Those Unwindia seem to love the holding pens and we've sorted the other two…Oh my goodness!"
The biggest Argentinosaurus, Profoundo, walked through the portal, sending earthquakes as he went. Soon, another followed him. The injured ones emerged from the portal last, and Mackenzie and the medics of the X-Squad went to sort it out.
"I think I might need everyone to come here. It's a bit of a big ordeal," she groaned through her walkie-talkie.
Eventually, four more Argentinosaurus thundered through the portal. The last was very young but it was already three times the size of an elephant.
"What do you think, Rob? Rob?" Drakus asked, turning around to look for him. Rob had fainted.
When he came to, the rest of the park came to observe the largest terrestrial animal to ever live. It took the entire veterinary team to check up on the injured one, and most of the staff off duty, and a few on duty, came to look at the living earthquake.
